Guys I am obsessed with knitting, yarn and everything to do with it. I never thought I would get into it because yarn is so expensive but it is so relaxing and it is a hobby that helps me keep my hands busy. I have been waiting to post this because I wanted to try out all the looms that are offered at Michaels before I said anything. I started with the hat loom and that fuel my obsession.This loom was my starter, I know some people will say this is not knitting but I do not pick up skills fast and this was the easiest option for me. I usually use the bigger loom for hats that I am making for people because I can not guess their size. It takes me about one to two days to do a hat depending on how many hours I can sit down and just do that. I am planning to sell my hats and the information will be at the bottom of this post. The kit that Michaels offers comes with everything you need but the directions are a bit confusing and it is easier to google them or figure it out yourself. The second kit that I got was the scarf loom. I have only used this twice and I love it. The downside is that it takes a lot of yarn to make one single scarf because of the technique. My first time I used the medium sized (the purple one) to make a wide scarf and that took about four days and three balls of yarn. For my second one I used the smallest one (the blue one) and it took me about 2 days and two balls of yarn. Depending on the length and width you will go through a bunch of yarn As I said I am planning to sell my hats, I am in the process of building a website and building an inventory. As a college student I will always struggle to have money and all the funds that I make from my hats and scarves go to paying for art supplies and paying off my tuition. I will have the link posted soon and I would love it if you could donate or buy something.
I am also looking for yarn companies and anything that is willing to donate or let me promote them with yarn. Yarn can get expensive and I am not looking for handouts for my hobby but they would be nice. I have already contacted a few
